Chapter 349 The 'Difference' Between the Strong and the Weak [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]

[Dimensional Bullet Comment Section]

'Liao Kong is a seeded player? Isn't this like getting ganged up on right from the start?'

'3460 people, an average of 15 people competing for each one! This rule is too cruel!'

'The coordinates are being published in real time! This guy's going to be hunted down!'

'I knew it! Prison tests are never easy!'

"Don't jinx it! Maybe they can turn the tables in prison!"

Viewers from a god-like perspective instantly recognized the predicament Chen Kong was currently facing.

In fact, if the coordinates of the Star Tear were not announced in real time, it would disappear due to the presence of the Void Pattern.

Dust and Emptiness can easily survive until the end.

But now that we have 'real-time coordinates', carrying the Tears of Stars would undoubtedly be a burden.

Especially in the current 'crisis-ridden' assessment.

[The area where the Flowing Light Grass Sea Dust Sky is located]

On a gentle, warm afternoon, a breeze rustled through the fragments of fluorescent grass.

On the grassland, Chen Kong looked down at the small map on his wristwatch, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

In the shared coordinates of the watch, one-third of the Star Tear holders have stopped moving.

The remaining two-thirds are moving forward rapidly.

It was obvious that they were threatened by other contestants around them.

A similar situation also happened to Chen Kong.

Although it's only been three minutes since the assessment started.

But Chen Kong could already sense at least three stellar energy fluctuations rapidly approaching him.

The closest one was already only 500 meters away from him.

If I walk just a few more steps, I might see the other person.

This is on the premise that the other party is not hiding.

And this is only what he can sense; there are only more who are hiding and lying in ambush, whom he cannot sense.

"No, we can't keep handling this hot potato."

After a quick assessment, Chen Kong gritted his teeth, suddenly stopped, and yanked the Star Tear off his wrist, throwing it into the nearby fluorescent grass.

Blue crystals landed on the blades of grass, making a soft 'tinkling' sound, and instantly blended into the surrounding starlight, almost unnoticeable unless you looked closely.

After doing all this, he immediately mobilized the star energy of the 'Void Pattern'.

A pale silver energy enveloped his entire body, and Chen Kong's aura completely vanished on the lawn.

He then decisively left the area and hid nearby.

Before Chen Kong could wait long, three contestants appeared at the spot where he had just discarded the Tears of Stars.

But as these people stared at the Star Tear discarded on the lawn, not one of them took the initiative to snatch it, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.

A moment later, one of the contestants broke the silence.

"Let's join forces and figure out a way to eliminate the others first."

Faced with this proposal, the other two contestants made their decision after only a brief moment of thought.

"can."

"With three hundred tears of stars, as long as enough people are eliminated, we can eventually pass the test."

After weighing the pros and cons, the three, who were originally strangers, immediately became allies.

Their conversation was overheard by Chen Kong, who was standing nearby.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough; otherwise, he might be surrounded and attacked by these three right now. Although these three were only level two Star Envoys.

But once you get entangled with these guys, other contestants around you will inevitably rush over to see if they can snatch something away.

We must find Vivian and Liu Ma quickly.
Thinking of this, Chen Kong quietly retreated and headed towards the coordinates of Liu Ma and the others' Star Tears on his wristwatch.

As the weaker party in this 'test', Chen Kong felt that only by 'banding together' could he pass the test smoothly.

Once he's alone, he might not be able to protect the 'Tears of the Stars' by himself.

Like Chen Kong, he wasn't the only one who chose to temporarily discard the Tears of Stars and wait for the right opportunity.

The anime briefly switched to the large live broadcast screen outside the central Qilin Tower.

On the screen, on the vast grassland, scenes similar to those in Chen Kong were unfolding everywhere.

A middle-aged man in martial arts uniform stuffed the Tears of Stars into a tree hole and then used star energy to cover his tracks.

An intelligent machine star envoy loaded the crystal into a miniature spatial device and threw it in the opposite direction to lure away the pursuers.

Clearly, these are guys who have no confidence in protecting the Tears of the Stars.

The best 'choice' for them is to discard the Tears of Stars as soon as possible to avoid becoming a sitting duck.

This is the helplessness of being a 'weak' person.

For every person who abandons something, there will be someone who chooses to protect it.

[30 minutes after the start of the qualifying rounds, in the eastern part of the Radiant Grassland, in the fluorescent forest]

Ding!
The leaves of the fluorescent tree glowed with a pale green halo, falling onto Tiandao's black trench coat.

He leaned lazily against the tree trunk, playing with the Star Tear with his fingertips, looking relaxed.

The blue crystals refracted tiny sparkles in the sunlight, creating a truly beautiful sight.

The Star Tear, which everyone was fighting over, was now in his hands like an ordinary toy, and he didn't care about it at all.

The camera pans, revealing a ground that looks as if it has been hit by a missile, riddled with craters.

Three discarded competition watches were found scattered in these pits.

The watch body was shattered, and the screen was stained with dirt and grime, silently telling everyone that their owner had been eliminated by the will of Heaven.

After playing with the Star Tear in his hand for a while, Tiandao turned to look at the three discarded wristwatches and shook his head, saying, "They really have no patience. They dare to make a move without even understanding the enemy's situation."

As the words of Heaven fell.

The anime's visuals briefly switch.

In the scene, Tiandao, facing three suddenly appearing contestants, walks nonchalantly towards the tree.

No one knows what Heaven did, but just after the three contestants got a certain distance away from Heaven.

An invisible, immense force pressed down on them, instantly slamming them into the mud.

Meanwhile, the soft grassland ground, unable to withstand this exaggerated gravity, created a circular crater on the spot.

Not a single move, or rather, not even the Heavenly Dao made a move.

The three contestants, who thought they had finally caught their prey, paid the price for their arrogance.

And in the scene, Tiandao defeated the three contestants without bloodshed.

Viewers familiar with the power of the Heavenly Dao vaguely deduced the reason.

'It should be a vector-controlled force field, right?'

'Furthermore, if it's just a vector force field, why are there gaps between those craters? Shouldn't they be centered on Laotian?'

'It's definitely related to the 'Vector Lockdown' during Lao Tian's second perfect awakening, but what exactly it is, we'll have to wait for the development team to reveal.'

Just like what the audience in the anime/manga/game (ACG) thought.

The way Heaven dealt with those three contestants originated from the special effect of the second awakening of Vector Control—'Vector Lockdown'.
